Aspirants may attempt free sectional mock on KYC. As the syllabus is very particular, topics need to be covered in detail mainly from various circulars and material available on website of RBI and SIDBI. We are considering it important to cover these things in detail and therefore, covering topics in depth.

Nishi. Que 14. How do agriculture extensions contribute to the development and sustainability of agriculture, and what are the key methods used in evaluating extension programmes?- 10 Marker


“Some of the Agriculture Extension programmes” not asked and you have written so much that too just after introductory para. These points can be mentioned but only as supporting things. You may write one para as “The Drone Didi Scheme underlines the role of technology in enhancing agricultural productivity, while Krishi Sakhi focuses on empowering women through training in sustainable agricultural practices. Similarly, the Lab to Land initiative bridges the gap between research institutions and farmers, ensuring that scientific advancements reach the grassroots.”


Expand the definition to reflect the broader scope of agricultural extension, including advisory services, capacity building, and farmer empowerment. you may write - Agricultural extension refers to a set of services and activities aimed at providing farmers with the knowledge and resources needed to improve their agricultural practices. It includes education on new technologies, sustainable practices, capacity building, and linking farmers to markets and research institutions.

Try to incorporate any real-world examples of extension program evaluations. Example: "For instance, the evaluation of the Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK) program showed a significant increase in yield and farmer income in areas where training on climate-resilient agricultural practices was conducted. This feedback helped further tailor KVK activities to the specific needs of different regions."

Connection to Agricultural Development and Sustainability:
You may write “Agricultural extension programs are instrumental in fostering sustainable development by promoting precision farming, which conserves resources like water and soil, and organic farming, which reduces dependency on chemical inputs. By improving access to modern technologies, these programs enhance resilience against climate change and increase productivity.”

Keep writing!!

NABARD- Que 4. Please explain the causes and effects of soil erosion, and identify the most effective soil conservation methods currently being practiced?- 15 Marker


You have to use headings as per the demand of the question. Here, question
has asked causes and effects and you have started writing forms and types. If you do not address the demand of the question, less marks will be awarded to you.

Also, as the word limit is 600, try to write atleast 1-2 lines for each point.

Some errors are there which have been highlighted. You can reduce typo errors by focusing more while typing.

You may use following things:

Causes of Soil Erosion:

Natural Causes:

Rainfall Intensity and Distribution: Heavy rainfall causes splash erosion, where raindrops dislodge soil particles. If there is no vegetation to absorb the impact, the soil is washed away.
Wind: In arid and semi-arid regions, strong winds blow away loose topsoil, leading to wind erosion.
Topography: Steep slopes in hilly areas accelerate water runoff, increasing the chances of rill and gully erosion.

Anthropogenic Causes (Man-made):
Deforestation: Clearing forests for agriculture or urban development exposes the soil to the elements, leading to rapid erosion.
Overgrazing: Excessive grazing by livestock removes the protective cover of grass, leaving soil vulnerable to erosion.
Unsustainable Agricultural Practices: Intensive plowing, mono-cropping, and failure to implement contour farming lead to soil degradation.
Construction Activities: Urbanization and infrastructure development disturb soil stability and cause erosion through land leveling and increased surface runoff.

Additional Cause: Climate Change: Changes in weather patterns, such as increased frequency of extreme rainfall and droughts, contribute to the acceleration of both water and wind erosion.

Effects of Soil Erosion:

Loss of Topsoil:
Erosion removes the nutrient-rich topsoil essential for plant growth, drastically reducing agricultural productivity.

Decreased Agricultural Productivity:
The loss of essential nutrients and soil fertility leads to reduced crop yields, forcing farmers to rely on fertilizers, increasing their input costs.

Desertification:
Erosion accelerates desertification, with approximately 2 million hectares of land turning into desert annually in India.

Sedimentation of Water Bodies:
Eroded soil ends up in rivers, lakes, and reservoirs, reducing their capacity and increasing the risk of flooding and water pollution.

Impact on Biodiversity:
The destruction of fertile soil reduces the habitat available for various plant and animal species, leading to biodiversity loss.

Economic Impact:
Farmers incur significant losses due to soil erosion, requiring increased investment in fertilizers and other inputs to maintain productivity. The loss of arable land also threatens long-term food security.

Social Impact:
In areas heavily affected by soil erosion, rural livelihoods dependent on agriculture suffer, potentially leading to migration and social instability.

Methods of Soil Conservation:

Agronomic Methods :

Cover Crops: Planting cover crops (e.g., pulses) helps protect the soil surface, reduce erosion, and maintain soil moisture.

Strip Cropping: Alternating strips of erosion-resistant crops with erosion-permitting crops (e.g., wheat, bajra) helps reduce water runoff.

Tillage: Reduced tillage or conservation tillage limits soil disturbance, preserving soil structure and organic matter.

Mulching: Covering the soil with crop residues or organic materials reduces water evaporation and protects against erosion.

Contour Farming: Growing crops along the contour lines reduces the speed of water runoff and helps retain soil on slopes.

Agrostological Measures: Growing grasses like vetiver and khus on steep slopes stabilizes the soil and prevents erosion.

Mechanical Methods:

Contour Bunding: Building bunds (embankments) along contour lines on land with a slope of 2-4% reduces water runoff.

Bench Terracing: Creating terraces on steep slopes (16-33%) provides flat surfaces for cultivation and reduces soil erosion.

Contour Terracing: Constructing terraced plots on slopes of 3-10% to slow down water flow and reduce erosion.

Technological Solutions:

GIS and Remote Sensing: These tools are used to identify erosion-prone areas and monitor land degradation, enabling more targeted conservation efforts.

Guneet- Question 1. Que 1. Analyze the key factors that influence crop production in India, considering both natural and human-made elements. - 15 Marker


Another excellent answer written by you. You have mentioned mitigation measures also. It will fetch you additional marks as whenever any problem in hand or issue is asked, it is always advisable to give solutions to the problem.

Some additional things you may use are:

The answer could provide more in-depth analysis of human-made factors like unsustainable farming practices (such as excessive groundwater extraction) or the impact of policies (e.g., Minimum Support Price) on cropping patterns.

Recent Technological Interventions:
Example: "The use of drones for spraying fertilizers and pesticides has increased by 15% in the last year, improving efficiency and crop yield."

Nothing notable to change. Just focus on speed only. Content and structure is near to perfect. some mistakes are there which have been highlighted in the answer itself.

Keep writing!
